It's Johnny Sachs!!

My bad. I fixed it.

Actually...

Its not Johnny Sachs, its Johnny Sack!!!

Oh man that felt good.

EdHill, Meadow's icky boyfriend's name is FINN, not Vincent.

Unbelievable season. We were rolling when Vito ended up in Pleasantville. It was like when Dorothy woke up in Oz. And I loved it when Vito chucked his cell phone and that construction worker found it when Tony called. He told him to hold on and had the steamroller drive right over it. I really don't know what will happen to Vito now. I thought he was as good as dead, but with Tonys whole new attitude, maybe he will just "give him a pass" and let him disappear. Excellent episode.

Did anyone else rewind at least twice to watch Chris's hilarious fast strut after finding out about Vito when he walked from his car into the Bing to tell Tony the news? I don't know how much of an overlap there is between the audience of Sopranos and the audience of Scrubs, but it reminded me of Eliot's mad walk that Dr. Cox recently imitated.

BTW, it's "goomar", but it's pronounced "goomah". Kinda like cappicola is pronounced "gabbagool" or "past" versus "pasta". You get the picture.

Edhill- I hope you are taking notes- everybody is correcting you today. (not me, I think you do just fine :)

When Chris first told Tony about Vito being gay he said he knew it all along.
When Tony told Melfi about Vito he said he knew it all along.
Soprano Gaydar.

Love me some EdHill!

My husband and I just watched this again. One thing that I noticed and forgot to mention before... When Meadow was telling her family about the Muslim family that was being investigated by the FBI, she stated that the Feds snatched the Muslim child off the street and questioned/ held him. For some reason, that felt like some eerie foreshadowing to me.
And yeah, Edhill, that comment Christopher made about the Springer Spaniel was fucking HILLARIOUS! God, these guys are just so dense.

I got a huge kick out of the constant sexual comments, like Tony telling Melfi that his crew is asking for head...er, I mean asking for HIS head.

Questions that popped into my mind: Will Meadow train herself to be Tony's attorney and work her way into the mob? (She's getting more defensive about her family.) Will Vito put down a huge chunk of cash and buy his own antique store? Will Finn (of the cone titties) get whacked because of what he now knows?

Dasher,
I think youre right about Meadow. Shes slowly getting sucked into the life. I dont think Vito is gonna open up any antique store. Hes gonna be sleeping with the fishes soon

The depth of Tony's commitment to his friend was touching. For example, when he said to Carlo, "I don't think I'd even have my new yacht if it weren't for him."

EdHill--I think this foreshadowing means he's going to be dumped off of the new boat.

I’m glad the Feds had Johnny Sad-Sack’s hands cuffed as they escorted him to the car. Otherwise, I fear he would have wobbled towards the car bawling, with his arms flailing in the air, like Andre (the thin Hispanic man who put the “Si” in the word “Sissy”) from project runway, after Heidi Klum delivered her verdict. He was bedraggled, he was verklempt! If he keeps up with this behavior, the next gun that visits him damned well won’t be Tim Gunn. “People, gather round...Johnny, this troubles me”.

I don’t know about you, but to me, that Rusty character looks more like a washed up, jive-assed lounge singer than a mob hard ass. Oops, I guess thats what he is in real life. Getting Wacked on the Sopranos is the closest that Frankie Valli is getting to a “hit” any time soon. What are they going to do, steal his blow dryer so he dies of embarrassment? Rusty looks more likely to be administering a rusty trombone to a dude than a Paulie-style beating. Maybe that’s how he got his name. Good riddance miscast celebrity interloper! Don’t let the door hit you where Vito would like to split you.

Another great touch: Tony calling the Muslim "Fazool," as in "pasta fazool."

When Rusty/Frankie V. gets whacked, will he go to "that malt shop in the sky?"

I love it love it love it, i especially love gay VVito when he was totally checking out the cook at the diner. maybe it is just me but it seemed like that cook was into Vito( chubby chaser)

Too much actual Vito this week. He just kept dropping his head to think. I have feared for Finn's virtue ever since Vito's head popped up in that truck. And I still fear for him. He should have quit Meadow, quit Colombia and got the hell off the East Coast.

It can only end in tears.

That's Frankie Avalon, JasonR.

Much love - I love the site and your recaps and everything...but would it kill you to have someone look over the recap before you post it? As a writer, the little grammatical errors kill me (Now = Know, Taht = That, etc...). I'm not trying to be a jerk - believe me, I've been there. You get so sick of looking at something, you just send it out without proofreading it again. But come on.

D'oh! Nice pick up Clarice. I guess my quip would have been more clever if I had the right Frankie.

Finn is totally gonna get bumped off because Meadow had to go and open her big know-it-all mouth. She's an idiot. Shrill. Also, her blind idealism and naivte are sickening -- really getting on my nerves. Hello, Meadow!!! Your daddy and all your "uncles" are cold-blooded killers!!! So convenient for her that she gets to sanctimoniously do work for the ACLU and feel all good about herself while the clothes are her back, her Ivy-League education, and the roof over her head have been paid for with blood. Meadow sucks. I wish she'd kick it.

OK, it's "pick on EdHill day. It's "GooBah", which applies to both sexes. It comes from the Italian "Gumbare", which is someone from the same country or an in-law. Also, it's "Capo di tutti capi", which means "Capo of all Capos", or top boss.

As you were.

Oops. I meant "GoomBah". Now I'm in the same barrel with EdHill. Damn!

Meadow's problem isn't naivete. She knows what her father is and went so far as to call him out direclty once in high school. Her problem is self-righteous bullcrap and hypocrisy.

Meadow is Carmela's daughter through and through.

There you are Edhill, you naughty little minx.

What's a "mink"?

I had something VERY BAD is going to happen, but I don't know whether to believe it...

One of these days im gonna do a recap and purposey screw up every characters name jhust to see the commenters heads explode. Or better yet, i'll instead exchange all the characters names to commenters names. That way you guys will want to call me out, but won't necessarily want to because im using your names, thus creating a classic "danger, Will Robinson" moment.

People, please, lay off of EdHill. I'd like to think that most of us are reading these blogs for entertainment purposes, not to brush up on our spelling and grammar.

Keep up the good work, EdHill.

I'm hesitant to prolong this argument, but the HBO sopranos website says 'goomara'. Be nice to EdHill, he only wants to make us smile.

Cut ED Hill a slackburger with cheese! I don’t know how anyone can find the time to write such entertaining reviews, and co-host the Fox & Friends show every morning.
